I have had it, I am headed back to my Treo. I have my BB 8330 defaulting back to device memory for storing my pictures, without any help from me. Here is everything I did:
1) I set in the camera options to the media card as to where I wanted the pictures to be stored.
2) The next suggestion was to remove the battery and I did.
3) Something I didn't do was format the card and so I did that.
I am out of ideas, and I am very upset that every time I shoot a picture I have to check options to make sure that it is set on media card and not device.
I would love to get another one, but I am afraid. I have insurance, but the insurance company that Verizon uses gives you a 50/50 chance of getting a new or a refurbish unit. I honestly and simply don't want anymore headaches.
Something must be wrong because I use the camera on my Berry all the time and the pics always always always go to the memory card. Never had an issue. In fact, I don't think I had to tell it to initially. I think as soon as I put the card in, it just changed it by itself.
I wouldn't give up my 8330 for anything except a proven better Berry. It is by far the best one I have ever used.
Could a wipe and reload of the OS be in order? Sounds like a quirk. I have an 8330 and have never had a problem. I have swapped cards (work card vs. personal card) without issue.
